  1. OFFICE PRODUCTIVITY PROJECT • Caryn Long – Oklahoma State University

  2. Office productivity project Online learning (dependent variable) is a more easily adopted learning format for younger generations (independent variable) because they have grown up in a technology-immersed society. Hypothesis

  3. Questions to construct survey • All questions below are answered on a five point scale where 5 in Strongly Agree and 1 is Strongly Disagree. • I believe that online learning is easily accessed by all. • Online learning is something that I am interested in. • If I had a choice between an online learning course and a face to face course, I would pick the face to face course. • Online learning courses meet the needs of most student age groups. • Face-to-face courses are more effective for learning concepts than online learning courses.

  4. ADDITIONAL SURVEY QUESTIONS • What is your age group? • In which country were you born? • Gender?

  5. The survey was generated online using Google Docs

  6. The survey link was then placed on my FB page for responses. My group of over 400 friends are of various ages, gender, etc.

  7. What is your age group?

  8. Where were you born? 1 1 33 1

  9. Is your gender female or male?

  10. Completed Table of 37 respondents

  11. Question 1 I believe online learning is easily accessible by all.

  13. Question 2 Online learning is something I am interested in.

  15. Question 3 If I had a choice between an online course and a face to face course, I would pick the face to face course.

  17. Question 4 Online learning courses meet the needs of most student age groups.

  18. Pivot table illustrating the number of those in each age range answering Q4

  19. Question 5 Face to face courses are more effective for learning concepts than online learning courses.

  20. Pivot table illustrating the number of those in each age range answering Q5

  21. Conclusions • Those that were 40-60 had the highest positive responses to online learning scenarios across the board. • Those that were 40-60 had more neutral feelings about face to face courses being more effective than online courses. • Those older than 61 felt face to face courses were more effective than online courses. • When asked “Online learning is something I am interested in, there were no real trends for those in the over 60 age range, but the majority of those that answered marked it at a 3 or above.

  22. Hypothesis analysis I don’t believe I can say for certain whether or not my hypothesis was true or false. An overwhelming majority of those in “middle age” (41-60) were very positive about online learning and those older (61 and older) were all over the map with their answers: some who were positive and some who were negative about this aspect of learning style. Only 2 respondents were under the age of 40 and I don’t believe that is enough of a sample from that age group to make a statement about their trends of thinking about this topic.
